Connemara

Connemara is located in the County Galway. Connemara is famous because of its lakes and its magnificent landscapes. There is a French song "Les lacs du Connemara" by Michel Sardou which explains well the landscapes and the atmosphere in Connemara :

" Land burned by windStone heathsAround the lakesIt is, for the inhabitantsA little bit of hellConnemara

Black cloudsComing from the NorthColour the landLakes and riversThat's the landscapeOf Connemara"

But there is also a beautiful Abbey called Kylemore built in 1920 by a man, Mitchell Henry, for his lovely wife. Kylemore Abbey is a Benedictine Neo-Gothic Abbey.
